This bright, newly renovated three-bedroom mid-terrace on Upwood Road blends period character with contemporary finishes. The house offers comfortable living across approximately 1,108 ft², with high ceilings, bay windows and a modern galley kitchen that opens onto a sunny rear garden — a practical family layout close to local parks and good transport links.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, chain-free sale and an EPC rating of C. There is clear scope to add value by extending into the loft subject to planning permission (STPP). The property is well placed for commuting, within walking distance of Norbury and Streatham Common stations, and close to several well-regarded schools, making it attractive to first-time buyers and growing families.
The house was constructed in the 1930s–1940s and has solid brick walls with no known insulation upgrades; secondary energy improvements could reduce running costs further. The plot is small and garden space is generous for the property type but limited compared with larger suburban plots. The area is a multicultural, densely settled part of the city with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note the local crime level is high; prospective purchasers may wish to factor security measures into budgets. While tastefully modernised throughout, further renovation or insulation works may be required to reach top energy efficiency and to fully realise loft-extension potential.
